Placing American citizens under foreign criminal jurisdiction is a violation of the 11th Amendment isn’t? Please advise.
If a President signs a treaty, and if the senate ratifies it, then that treaty becomes the law of our land.
United States Constitution, Article VI, 2nd paragraph
This Constitution, and the Laws of the United States which shall be made in Pursuance thereof; and all Treaties made, or which shall be made, under the Authority of the United States, shall be the supreme Law of the Land; and the Judges in every State shall be bound thereby, any Thing in the Constitution or Laws of any State to the Contrary notwithstanding.
Placing American citizens under foreign criminal jurisdiction is a violation of the 11th Amendment isn’t?No. If this were the case, extradition treaties would be unconstitutional.
I hope this guy keeps going with this nonsense. It will bring things to a boil quicker than the Clintoon small cuts approach.
No, it's a violation of the sovereign's right of self-government.
Barack Obama is not a sovereign. The sovereign in this land is the People of the United States.
Among the powers of the sovereign is the judicial power, which We delegated to a Supreme Court and such inferior courts as Congress has seen fit to ordain and establish.
The so-called "International Criminal Court" is not an Article III court, and neither is Barack Obama.
He can't delegate a jurisdiction nor a power which he lacks, so the idea that he can "place U.S. under International Criminal 'Court'" is absurd on its face.
You seem to be one of the last few people on this planet that takes a small thing such as a constitution and laws seriously. Take a page from the left, any law or treaty that gives the politburo more power is good.
